Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul joined a Tuesday Washington, DC protest of the Supreme Court decision that paved the way for legal abortions in the United States. The anti-war and pro-liberty candidate showed that pro-life positions were also a central part of his political agenda in an address before the 2008 "March For Life."

The Paultards will ask if Ron Paul's stance on abortion really matters. Well, Ron Paul seems to think that it does. Why can't the people who are actually affected by his policies think the same?

Ron Paul has always been pro-life. He never pretended otherwise. Abortion is one of the issues that splits libertarians, since the whole issue is based on the question of at what point a group of cell becomes a person, with rights. There is no contradiction in being a pro-life libertarian.
